The Opportunity: Five Towers, Five Cities, One Vision
MBAH's Phase 1 represents the simultaneous development of five landmark 50-story towers strategically positioned in Accra, Lagos, Abidjan, Conakry, and Dakar. This unprecedented multi-city launch will deliver approximately 2,000 residential units across West Africa's most dynamic capital cities, establishing MBAH as the region's premier housing platform.
Accra, Ghana
Political stability and strong governance make Ghana a preferred entry point for Gulf investors seeking African exposure with manageable risk profiles.
Lagos, Nigeria
Africa's largest economy with 3.4 million housing unit deficit presents unmatched market depth and diaspora purchasing power.
Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire
French-speaking West Africa's economic powerhouse, requiring 40,000 new units annually to meet surging middle-class demand.
Conakry, Guinea
Emerging market with substantial natural resource wealth and growing expatriate professional class seeking quality housing.
Dakar, Senegal
Francophone West Africa's diplomatic hub with stable institutions and sophisticated buyer base demanding international-standard developments.
Each mixed-use tower serves as a city flagship, offering modern apartments priced between $150,000-$300,000 to Africa's expanding middle class and the substantial diaspora community. This five-city rollout functions as our proof-of-concept, demonstrating that premium housing can be delivered at scale across multiple markets simultaneously—a capability no other developer in the region has achieved.
Gulf-Proven Business Model: Presale Development at Scale
Dubai-Style Off-Plan Sales
MBAH leverages the presale model that has proven extraordinarily successful in Gulf markets like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. All units are pre-sold before construction begins, eliminating speculative risk and ensuring projects are funded by genuine buyer demand rather than excessive debt leverage.
Our digital marketplace aggregates real purchase commitments from diaspora Africans abroad and local buyers, who place 30% down payments with the balance paid over 5-10 years through structured installments. This approach—familiar to Gulf investors from Dubai's regulated off-plan system—builds trust and creates predictable cash flows throughout the development cycle.
All buyer funds are held in independent escrow accounts and released only against verified construction milestones, ensuring capital is deployed exactly as promised. Projects carry comprehensive insurance coverage, and we employ Big-Four audited financial controls to provide the transparency and accountability Gulf family offices require from any investment.

Cutting-Edge Construction Technology
Executing five high-rises simultaneously requires revolutionary construction approaches. MBAH employs modular prefab building systems, robotics, AI-driven design optimization, and selective 3D printing to dramatically accelerate build times while reducing costs compared to traditional methods that plague African construction projects.
Critical components—including complete apartment modules—are factory-produced under controlled conditions and shipped to each site for rapid assembly. This industrialized approach ensures consistent international quality standards across all five towers while compressing typical 4-5 year timelines into 2-3 years. By combining proven Gulf financing practices with cutting-edge construction technology, MBAH delivers homes efficiently at scale, unlocking a multi-billion-dollar housing ecosystem across West Africa.
Market Fundamentals: Why West Africa, Why Now
West Africa presents a compelling and time-sensitive market opportunity combining massive unmet housing demand with favorable demographic and economic tailwinds that create near-certainty of sustained growth.
40+ Million Unit Deficit
The region faces an unprecedented housing shortfall exceeding 40 million units. Lagos alone suffers a 3.4 million home shortage, while Abidjan needs 40,000 new units annually just to meet current demand—far more demand than quality supply in virtually every major city.
Population Doubling by 2050
West Africa's 450 million population is projected to roughly double by 2050, with explosive urbanization concentrating growth in cities. Tens of millions of new urban residents will need homes—a structural demand wave few global markets can match.
Emerging Middle Class
Steady GDP growth and improving stability across Ghana, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire have created an aspirational middle class prioritizing home ownership as both status symbol and inflation hedge—even amid economic cycles, housing remains a core savings vehicle.
The Diaspora Advantage
The African diaspora sends over $30 billion home annually in remittances, with Nigeria alone receiving $23.8 billion in 2021—nearly 10× the country's foreign direct investment inflows. A substantial portion targets real estate investment or family homes.
However, diaspora buyers face endemic fraud, opaque transactions, and a severe "trust deficit" when attempting to build or purchase property remotely. Stories abound of families sending contractors money only to discover empty plots or abandoned half-built structures upon their return home.
This enormous pent-up demand for trustworthy, high-quality housing represents MBAH's core opportunity. Our platform provides the secure channel diaspora and local buyers desperately need—combining Western governance standards with local market knowledge to unlock billions in previously inaccessible capital. West Africa's housing boom stands at a tipping point: massive need, genuine buyers with capital in hand, but vanishingly few credible projects. Gulf investors partnering with MBAH can profit from and contribute to solving this market gap at precisely the right moment.
Risk Mitigation: African Growth with American Security
We understand that investing in emerging markets raises legitimate concerns around capital security and execution capability. MBAH has therefore engineered multiple layers of institutional-grade protection specifically designed to meet Gulf family office due diligence standards.
1
U.S. Asset-Backed Guarantees
To neutralize "Africa risk," every investor's principal can be secured against real estate assets in the United States. Your $500,000 investment is collateralized by tangible U.S. property held in trust, ensuring that even in worst-case scenarios, your initial capital remains protected by hard assets in a stable rule-of-law jurisdiction.
This unique structure delivers what we call "African growth with American security"—capturing high returns from Africa's demographic boom while anchoring your capital with the legal protections and stability of U.S. real estate. It's a dual advantage rarely available in frontier market investments.
2
Escrow & Insurance Protection
MBAH employs a Dubai-style governance framework for all project funds. Buyer deposits and construction capital are held in independent escrow accounts, released only against verified completion milestones. Comprehensive project insurance protects against construction delays, contractor default, and force majeure events.
By importing the regulated off-plan real estate practices Gulf investors recognize from the UAE—including Big-Four audited accounts, strict compliance frameworks, and transparent reporting—we eliminate the operational risks that typically concern international investors in African projects.
3
Priority Investor Returns
Our capital structure is designed to favor Gulf investors at every decision point. You hold preferred equity entitling you to receive your full 2.5× return before founders or common shareholders receive any distributions. This senior position means your principal and profit emerge first from any successful outcome.
If challenges arise, the structure ensures founders absorb losses before investors do. Additionally, investor capital primarily funds tangible assets—factory equipment, land, materials—which retain salvage value, further protecting your downside. You get paid even if execution faces headwinds, through structural priority and asset backing.

Shariah-Compliant Structure Available: For investors requiring Islamic financing principles, MBAH can structure investments as Shariah-compliant partnerships using profit-sharing and asset-based contracts with deferred buyback mechanisms rather than interest. The business involves no non-compliant activities, and this optional format has been vetted to ensure Muslim investors enjoy identical economics in a fully halal manner.
Leadership & Platform: World-Class Team, Institutional Structure
Experienced Leadership
MBAH is led by a Harvard- and MIT-educated founder who also served as a military officer, combining Ivy League strategic thinking with disciplined operational execution.

This blend of elite U.S. credentials, military precision, and deep cultural understanding establishes instant credibility across all constituencies.

Long-Term Vision: Building a PropTech Ecosystem
We're not building five towers—we're constructing a transformative platform to reshape housing across Africa. MBAH's model combines the stability of hard property assets with the exponential scalability of a technology marketplace. After delivering Phase 1 towers, our platform will continuously launch new projects while enabling third-party developments, earning transaction fees, management revenue, and financial services income.
Our five-year roadmap targets expansion into dozens of additional cities and thousands more units, leveraging Phase 1's credibility and momentum to catalyze geometric growth. With this strategy, we're targeting a "unicorn" $1+ billion valuation within 5-7 years. While projections depend on execution, our financial model shows annual EBITDA in the tens of millions by year five, supporting these ambitious outcomes. MBAH's ultimate vision: become West Africa's market-maker for housing—the definitive platform that profitably delivers homes at scale while creating lasting economic and social impact across the continent.
Value-Added Benefits: Immigration & Education Opportunities
